Hello,

I am using llblgen version 2.5 with .net 2.0 and vs 2005 and database 2005 and coding woth c#.

I am adding a list of publication to a dropdown list the code is: ddlPublication.Datasource = PublicationMaster.GetAll(); ddlPublication.DataTextField = "PubName"; ddlPublication.DataBind();

My question is how can i add a default value in the drop down and also add the publication from the database. Is it possible.

any suggestions please

You can do it all in the aspx markup. The key is adding the ListItem and setting AppendDataBoundItems.

 <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownListShipToPicker" runat="server"
        AppendDataBoundItems="True" 
        DataSourceID="LLBLGenProDataSourceShipToPicker" 
        DataTextField="ShipToName" DataValueField="ShipToId">
    <asp:ListItem Value="-1">Please Select</asp:ListItem>
 </asp:DropDownList>
